- Rule the Pool With a Fully Connected Pool Equipment Pad
In 2023, the “smart home” concept continues to trend. Homeowners want a more maintenance-free space with automated thermostats, lights, blinds, and more.
However, this concept can also enhance and improve outdoor spaces, and it’s especially appealing to pool owners. With automation in their toolkit, pool owners can make a splash and effortlessly rule the pool. Here’s how you can make pool ownership easy!
Diving Into Pool Pump Automation.
Every good story begins with a hero. One of the unsung heroes of the pool industry is variable speed and flow technology, which Pentair introduced to the United States roughly two decades ago. What makes variable speed and flow so notable is its incredible energy efficiency. In fact, with a third-generation IntelliFlo3® Variable Speed and Flow Pump, pool owners can save up to 90%* on energy consumption.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg, as systems like the IntelliFlo3 also double as an automation system. With optional onboard relays to provide automated control of two additional pieces of equipment, pool owners can control additional devices like lighting or salt chlorinators. Powerful flow and simple automation make the IntelliFlo3 an excellent choice for all sorts of pools, but the benefits don’t just extend to homeowners. Pool professionals can use the Pentair Pro app to monitor the IntelliFlo3 remotely, adjusting performance and troubleshooting issues to save homeowners and pros the hassle of multiple service visits.
Wading Deeper Into Automation Innovation.
While the IntelliFlo3 is a great solution for small-scale automation, it’s possible to put most of your pool features on one easy-to-use management system. The IntelliCenter® Pool Control System rises to the challenge by providing versatile control for almost any pool type. With five to 40 relays, adding colored lights, water features, and more to the automation system is a breeze. IntelliCenter allows pool owners to effortlessly set automation schedules, monitor pool and spa status, and check water chemistry. Plus, it can accommodate new equipment add-ons as your backyard paradise grows!
Using the Pentair Pro app, pool professionals can also remotely monitor the IntelliCenter Pool Control System. Who wouldn’t want to potentially prevent extra service trips?!
Get Ready to Rule the Pool!
With automation in your arsenal, it’s easy to curate the dreamiest backyard oasis. Infuse any water wonderland with a touch of fire and the song of falling water with the MagicFlame™ Fire and Water Bowl, or add some ambiance with the IntelliBrite® Architectural Series Lights. Any pool can be transformed from a mundane natatorium to an enchanting water wonderland with connected products. The ruler of this watery kingdom is you, of course – all you’ll need is the Pentair Home app on your smartphone. With this easy-to-use app, pool owners can monitor and control their pool equipment from anywhere in the world. Long gone are the days of frustrating pool management, and here to stay is the era of a fully connected, smart pool equipment pad.
With an easy-to-manage lineup of pool equipment, pool owners can make more time for the things that really matter: family, memory-making, and poolside relaxation. Effortlessly rule the pool with a reliable and connected pool equipment pad!
